Which colour Forester?
 

We've decided to buy a Forester 2.5 XT but can't quite work out which colour to go for. It's been narrowed down to Silver, Crystal Grey or black.

Which would you go for? The colours are on here;

Sti in blue.

Everybody has silver

I'd have the black...if it wasn't a bugger to keep clean ;)

My old Audi was black and it wasn't too bad to keep spotless...

I have black and it's a complete biatch to keep clean.

Crystal grey or the red looks better in the metal than on the website.

Crystal or Black would get my vote.

If all goes according to plan tomorrow, I will be getting a Black Leagacy Spec B Saloon. I didn't want to go down the silver route as "everyone" has silver.

They look lovely in black, don't forget to post some pictures!

ice blue........ ;)

Crystal grey - no contest....:D

Now there's an idea!

Crystal Grey :) Must be with the Prodrive 17" wheels though :) :)

Henry Ford had the right idea.;)

Go for black, I happened to see a brand new black one today and it looked great. It was crying out for bigger alloys though.

Black definitely. Then get the, soon to be available, PPP for it which should include bigger wheels :D

Grey! :D

Don't get the black.
I don't want the best colour becoming as common as the silver. ;)

It is already Suresh .. mine's black, palatine's is black, tarty's is black ..... :D

Strange when I was looking for a Forester, most of the dealers had silver or green!! :eek: There were a surpising amount of autos as well (which was what we were looking for)

I wanted black, but my wife preferred silver. Luckily for me the best deal we could find was on a black one!! :D

I think in the Forester world a black car, is like a silver one in the Impreza world!! :o

Crystal grey

So have you picked a colour yet Chris?

It looks as though we're going to go for a black one. If only they came in Ice Blue, then it'd be like a more grown up version of my WR1!

Here's a black one from the Subaru website.

Ive had a black one since november and well happy the 2.5 engine is a peach and gets better as the miles add on,if and when they put it in a uk impreza I might trade our classic in.The forester is a great all round vehicle and a joy to drive ,the comfort and power delivery is on a par with much dearer motors.Regards

Unlike the Imprezas I've had, I'm not really intending to keep the Forester for too long, so I decided to be sensible about the Forester spec, and have taken residual values etc into account.

Having spoken to a few people in the trade, and the advice I've received is that colours like silver and champagne are much easier to sell. So, as I can't stand the champagne, I've gone for the silver.

I can't say it's my favourite, but if it helps in the long term, then it's probably a wise choice.

I'd have to agree with the majority here, crystal grey met or black - I'll be in the same boat myself soon

Crystal grey. It's caused so many discussions about what colour it is, and it seems to change depending on the weather :). Of course, down here on the Sarf Coast we get so much sun it looks gold most of the time ;)

Best one!:thumb:

I've decided against the Crystal Grey. As i'm on the south coast it looks gold too often... ;)

If only the crystal grey was darker and more like the RB5 grey. The dealers i've spoken to have said i'm not the first to voice that opinion.

Black's been ordered!

I should have it by the end of the month...
